(ECNS)-- China's largest meat processor, Shuanghui, issued an apology after regulators found antibiotic residue in pork produced by one of its subsidiaries at levels 37.5 times above the national safety limit, according to media reports.

The Heilongjiang provincial market regulator said pork hind leg meat sampled from a supermarket contained 7,700 micrograms per kilogram of lincomycin, compared with the permitted maximum of 200 micrograms. The product was manufactured in August last year.

The regulator said the company challenged the sample's authenticity, but the objection was rejected.

In a statement Thursday, Shuanghui apologized and said it had formed a special task force to cooperate with authorities in the investigation. The company added that internal tests conducted since October 2025, along with several regulatory inspections, had all produced compliant results.

Headquartered in Henan Province, Shuanghui has faced past food safety scandals, including a 2011 "lean meat powder" controversy and hygiene violations reported at a subsidiary factory in 2022.

COLOMBO, May 3 — Sri Lankan police have arrested 37 Chinese nationals suspected of running a cyberscam centre in the capital Colombo, a spokesman said today, in the latest crackdown on foreign-run online fraud.

The suspects, aged between 23 and 44 and including one woman, were arrested after a tip-off, the police spokesman said.

“They had entered the country on tourist visas and were illegally employed, while two of them had overstayed their visas,” he added.

A local police source said 35 tablet computers, 147 mobile phones and 100 SIM cards were seized at the suspected scam centre in the Colombo suburb of Talangama.

The arrests came a month after 152 foreign nationals, mostly Chinese, were detained for allegedly running a cyberscam operation out of a hotel in the island’s northwest.

Immigration authorities arrested 135 Chinese men and women in March for allegedly running a similar scam operation. They have since been deported.

Beijing’s embassy in Colombo said at the time it was working closely with local authorities to prevent Chinese nationals from carrying out scam operations in Sri Lanka.

The embassy said Sri Lanka’s developed telecommunications infrastructure, favourable geographical location and relatively lenient visa policies encouraged fraud gangs to move to the South Asian nation.

In 2024, Sri Lankan authorities detained 230 Chinese nationals and 200 Indian nationals accused of operating cybercrime centres in various parts of the island. — AFP
